Vol 2 Chapter 458: Suborbital value

/

Boom! Although they were about a kilometer apart, Wu Hao and they were still able to hear the roar of the rocket.

At the same time, through the large screen, everyone in the control center can very intuitively see the bursts of flames and dust blowing from the bottom of the rocket. Under the spray of these orange-red flames, the rocket also slowly started to lift off.

"The rocket successfully ignited, the engine was operating normally, and the systems were operating normally."

"Enter the program turn."

"Procedure turning is complete!"

Crackling ... People in the crowd burst into warm applause. Wu Hao also stepped forward with Yu Chengwu, Zhou Xiangming and several other team members to congratulate them.

In the endless desert Gobi, a white rocket rises from the ground and shoots directly into the dark blue sky.

This scene also attracted the attention of the passengers on the scene, even in the vehicles on the surrounding highway. Everyone took out their mobile phones to record the shocking moment.

Control Center, Wu Hao. They are also closely watching the rocket's flight attitude through optical tracking equipment.

"Second, the rocket is separated from the first and second stages, and the second stage ignition is successful!"

Crackling ... After the news announcer announced the good news, there was another burst of applause inside the control center.

通知 "Notify the ground recovery team, pay close attention to the whereabouts of the rocket wreckage, and pay attention to safety." Wu Hao smiled and could not help but tell.

"Yes!" Yu Chengwu responded with excitement.

Zhang Jun licked his lips and asked him excitedly, "Did you succeed?"

"The separation of the first and second levels is more than half a success. Now it depends on whether the rocket's final flight height has met our expected requirements." Wu Hao smiled back.

"Oh, in theory, we can't declare the success of this rocket experiment until the entire recycling work is completed. But as long as there are no major accidents in the next part, it is already a success." Zhou Xiangming explained to Zhang Jun with a smile. .

"That's success." Zhang Jun's face blossomed cheerfully. What he saw was only the successful launch of the rocket, but a steady stream of orders and money in the future.

"The rocket's secondary fuel is exhausted, the engine is stopped, and the altitude begins to fall," a monitor yelled immediately.

Wu Yuchengwu stared at the big screen and asked, "What is the maximum height?"

"13.8 km, which meets the design expectations."

Crackling ... Applause erupted again.

"Okay, congratulations, this altitude has reached the near space or space transition zone. Even this experimental model can already be used for some suborbital commercial space launch missions." Wu Hao smiled and appreciated.

He did not expect that this test shot actually made a big start. The Rockets completed the entire experimental mission very well. It can be said that there was no wave in the middle.

The near-space or air-space transition zone mentioned here is also the sub-orbit, and generally refers to the airspace m from the ground. It is located between the highest flight altitude of the existing aircraft and the lowest orbit altitude of the satellite, so it is also called near space or space transition.

Rhenium roughly includes the atmospheric stratosphere region, the atmospheric mesosphere region, and part of the ionosphere region. This area is neither aerospace nor aerospace. It has great prospects for intelligence collection, reconnaissance and surveillance, communications support, and air-to-ground operations.

Like some countries and companies, it is actually the return-type spacecraft developed by several major aviation powers, such as the spacecraft such as x37b, and their flight altitude is at this orbital altitude.

With the emergence of this type of spacecraft, major aerospace powers and some aerospace giants are stepping up their research in this area, and this suborbital area, which was not particularly valued, has become hot again.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Xiangming shook his head and said, "Not yet. This rocket is still a test product and far from being launched for production. And this launch can only be said to be a fluke. We have to retrieve the rocket wreckage for analysis and summarize the relevant Experience continues to be tested. "

"Oh, I mean that." Wu Hao was a little embarrassed when he was so stung.

Seeing Wu Hao's somewhat awkward expression, Yu Chengwu quickly stepped forward and said, "It's not impossible, we can go to scientific research institutions to find some relevant sounding scientific research cooperation projects.

In this way, we can not only obtain some scientific research funding from it, but also accumulate cooperation experience with these scientific research units.

What's more, these scientific research units can also use less money to conduct some sounding scientific research projects, which is also a good thing for them.

This kind of cooperation can be described as killing two birds with one stone and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. "

"But we cannot guarantee the success of the next rocket launch, what if we fail?" Zhou Xiangming questioned.

哎 "Hey, how can a rocket launch be 100% successful and have risks? They all know it." Yu Chengwu countered.

Seeing that the two were going to fight, Wu Hao hurried out and said, "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. But this problem is not insurmountable, such as finding insurance companies to insure. Now many commercial rocket launch projects This is all done. This way, even if it fails, there is not much loss.

I do n’t have to lie to each other anymore, the risks that should have been made clear to them. How can a normal sounding launch mission be cheap? This is clear to them at all ~ www.readwn.com ~ what General Wu said. Yu Chengwu nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xiangming didn't nod his approval, but never retorted.

"The ground recovery team ’s helicopter reported that the first-level wreckage of the rocket had been found. There were no casualties and no ground property loss at the crash site. The ground recovery team is currently on its way to the crash site. It is expected that this level of wreckage can be cleared and recovered today. . "

浩 Wu Hao nodded his head, then asked, "What about the second part?"

"According to design requirements and related standards, most of the secondary part of the rocket will burn out during the high-speed fall, and only a small part will fall to the ground. However, the high-altitude environment is difficult to determine, and further searches are required. According to the rocket flight trajectory By calculation, the secondary part will basically fall into this desert here. This desert is sparsely populated, so it is unlikely that accidents will occur.

For insurance reasons, you can ask the ground recovery team to send a helicopter to search to ensure nothing is wrong. Yu Chengwu explained to him.

"It's all right."

Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the excited crowd loudly: "I know that the rocket was successfully launched. Everyone is very excited at the moment, and I am the same.

But I still ask everyone to calm down this excitement first. Our work is not over yet, and there is another rocket waiting for us to launch.

Let's continue to work hard and strive for complete success again! "

"Come on!"
